This time of year you should be using fresh bait every cast and re-baiting every 15-30mins.

Get some fresh shad, makes a big difference. Might try some prepaired baits also like sudden impact.

There's a reason why most of us will spend two hours or whatever it takes every morning to get fresh bait!!!

Doesn't take me 10 minutes to get fresh bait. The problem is I'll spend 2 hours to catch just one catfish.
What am I doing wrong?

Hmmm..I've caught lots of cats with ghost minnows plus other variety of fish. I don't use much shad just strictly ghost minnows. Again what works best go with it. Good luck

Use fresh cut shad. It's also important that you hold your face strait.

Use fresher Punch Bait Brian rolfmao



There's a fine line between fishing and sitting on the water looking like a darn fool.
